December 25th is Christmas Day. Many Americans are busy with Christmas and the winter holiday season. Buying a Christmas tree is one important part of the holiday. Christmas trees come in all shapes(形状)and sizes. Maybe the most famous is the large Christmas tree near the White House in Washington, D.C. If you believe that Christmas trees come from forests(森林),you are wrong; most trees are carefully grown on farms. Farmers plant and sell Christmas trees just as they grow fruits or vegetables. About thirty-three million Christmas trees are sold in North America each year. It can take as many as fifteen years to grow a
tree as high as two meters, but the growing time is usually seven years. Farmers care for the young trees until they are about three to five years old. Then farmers plant them again in fields. Farmers cut the highest part of the trees when they do not want them to grow too fast. They also cut other parts of the trees while the trees are growing. This gives the trees the shape that people will like.

[A] Right [B]Wrong [C] Doesn"t say

请根据下面短文回答66~70题：
It used to be that if you wanted to travel, you had to plan for a long bus or train ride. But the car changed all that. Though at first it was thought of as too expensive, the car quickly became a necessary thing in America. Between 1908 and 1926, Ford Motor Company sold more than 15million cars.
Almost from the beginning, people liked to use their cars to go on holiday. With so many people taking to the road, the U.S. had to build more and better roads to support(维持)all that traffic (交通). As an easy way to see the country, traveling by car brought about the development of roadside restaurants. People also needed information on interesting places to visit and how to get there, so road maps and travel guides(指南)were developed.
Having a car meant families could go to places far from where they lived. If you lived in a warm place, you could go to the mountains to see snow; if you lived in a cold place, you could drive to the seaside for fun in the sun. Cars made it possible to do what was not easy for most people before.
66. What is this text about?
[A] Traveling by car.[ B ] Traffic in the U. S.[C] Making holiday plans.
67. What did Americans think of the car at first?
[ A ] It was expensive.
[B] It was unnecessary.[C] It was easy to drive.
68. The U.S. built many roads because______
[A] many people began to use cars
[B] the countryside developed quickly
[C] more roadside restaurants were needed
69. Why were road maps and travel guides developed?
[A] They were interesting to read.
[B] Cars brought about traffic problems.
[ C ] People needed information on traveling.
70. We know from the text that
[A] traffic became one of the biggest problems in the U. S.
[B] cars made it possible for families to travel far from home
[C] travelers had to pay a lot of money for maps and travel guides

第二节短文理解1
参考译文
12月25日是圣诞节。许多美国人忙着过圣诞节和冬天的节日。买圣诞树是圣诞节的一个重要习俗。圣诞树有各种形状和大小。或许，最著名的圣诞树要数华盛顿白宫附近的大型圣诞树。如果你相信圣诞树都来自森林，那你就错了。大多数圣诞树都是在农场悉心培植的。就像农民们种水果和蔬菜一样，他们种植并销售圣诞树。每年有近3，300万颗圣诞树在北美地区出售。一颗树要生长到2米高需要15年的时间，但是生长时间通常为7年。在小树苗成长的头3到5年里，农民们小心栽植。然后再将这些树移栽到田野里。为了防止树木长势过快，农民们会砍下树木最高的枝干。在树木生长的同时，他们还会砍下其他的枝干。这会使树木长成人们希望的形状。
56.C【精析】句意：美国人很高兴收到圣诞礼物。是非题。文章主要介绍圣诞树及其种植情况，没有提及圣诞礼物，也没提及美国人对圣诞礼物的态度。故选C。
57.A【精析】句意：圣诞树有不同的大小。是非题。从文章第四句
“Christmas trees come in all shapes and sizes.”可以得出，圣诞树有不同的大小和形状。故选A。
58.B【精析】句意：购买的圣诞树都来自森林。是非题。从文中第六句“If you believe that Christmas trees come from forests, you are wrong...”可以判断出，本题表述不符合原文，故选B。
59.C【精析】句意：圣诞树在圣诞节特别便宜。是非题。文章中未提到圣诞节时圣诞树的价格如何，故选C。
60.B【精析】句意：所有田野里的圣诞树都会任其生长。是非题。从文章倒数第三句“Farmers cut the highest part of the trees when they do not want them to grow too fast.”可知，如果长得过快，人们会砍去最高的部分，故选B。
第三节短文理解2
参考译文

当他们完成在羊圈的工作后，萨拉和杰夫打算去河里游泳。他们经
常去那里游泳。
61.B 【精析】句意：为什么萨拉不经常去市区?细节题。从文章第一段第三句“The nearest city is over one hundred and fifty kilometers away，so Sarah doesn"t often go there.”可以得出，因为距离比较遥远，所以萨拉不经常去，故选项B符合题意。
62.A 【精析】句意：夏天，学校中午就放学是因为下午____。细节题。从文章第一段最后一句“In summer it"s usually very hot，so the school day starts early at half past seven and finishes at noon.”可以看出，学校中午就放学是因为天气炎热，故选项A符合题意。
63.A【精析】句意：杰克在羊圈做什么?细节题。从文章第二段第二
句“It"s the sheep-shearing season and six men are shear ing his sheep.”可知，杰克和其他人一起在羊圈修剪羊毛，故选项A符合题意。
64.A【精析】句意：杰夫明年打算做什么?细节题。从文章第二段最后一句“He is going to college next year to study farming.”可以得出，他明年打算去上大学，故选项A符合题意。

参考译文
以前，如果你想旅行，就得计划坐长途汽车或火车。但是汽车改变了一切。尽管一开始人们觉得汽车价格太高，但是很快汽车成了美国人生活中必不可少的一部分。在1908年到1926年间，福特汽车公司销售了超过l，500万辆汽车。
几乎从一开始，人们就喜欢开车去度假。随着公路上汽车数量的增多，美国修建了更多更好的公路来维持交通情况。作为参观一个国家的简便方式，开车旅行促进了路边餐馆的发展。人们也需要获得关于旅游景点和路线的信息，所以公路路线图和旅行指南应运而生。
拥有一辆汽车就意味着家人可以去离家很远的地方旅行。如果你住在温暖的地区，你可以去山区欣赏雪景;如果你住在寒冷的地区，你可以开车去海边晒太阳。汽车使得人们以前做起来困难的事情变得可能。
66.A【精析】句意：这篇文章的主要内容是什么?主旨题。根据文章内容，此篇文章主要说汽车旅行给人们带了许多便利，故选项A符合题意。
